2 Samuel 19:21-23

International Children’s Bible

²¹ But Abishai son of Zeruiah said, “Shimei should die. He cursed you, the Lord’s appointed king!”

²² David said, “This does not concern you, sons of Zeruiah! Today you’re against me! No one will be put to death in Israel today. Today I know I am king over Israel!” ²³ Then the king said to Shimei, “You won’t die.” The king made this promise to Shimei.
